I try to resist the temptation to look into any of my finches nests for fear of scaring them off.
today though I felt it had to be done as recently there has been a lot of nesting material disappear.
turns out that the orange breasted pair have built & are sitting on 3 or 4 eggs, entrance to their nest is only about 3/4" wide so its hard to see much.
the st helena waxbills have 8 eggs, 15 last time with no luck all were clear, if the eggs are clear this time I'll be looking for a new male lol.
the african firefinches(ruddies) must have only just started their nest as the male is still building but the female is sitting on 3 eggs.
bengalese are due to hatch in about 3-4 days, while the button quail should be a day earlier.
now if only the gouldians and emblemas will get busy lol
